Summary
Dr. Henry Jekyll, fascinated by the dichotomy of good and evil, no longer wants to inhibit his dark side. He concocts a potion to create the alter ego of Mr. Edward Hyde. With the burden of evil placed on Hyde, Jekyll can now take pleasure in his immoral, nefarious fantasies - free of conscience and guilt. It's when Hyde turns to murder that Jekyll realizes how monstrous his impulses are and how hard they are to suppress.
Exploring the nature of shame, repression, desire, and control, Stevenson's story has so endured that "a Jekyll and Hyde personality" has become part of our lexicon in understanding our own - sometimes involuntary - duality.
Revised edition: Previously published as The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, this edition of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.

Fantastic story that makes you think
I’ve read this story before but really appreciated it more this second time around! Love that it makes you think about how far should one go for science and that the duality of man truly is. I think this a novel that pairs perfectly with Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Great read.

Not for me
I first read the book a few years ago and didn't really like it but I assumed it was because I was reading it when I was tired as I've seen many film and tv versions and loved them. I thought I'll listen to the audiobook this time - I still don't like the book. Matthew Lloyd Davies does a good job there with the narration and I think I'm just disappointed as for some reason this is a book I wanted to really love. Oh well, you win some you lose some!!
